Sustainable Development

Triple Bottom Line Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs… As such it requires the promotion of values that encourage consumption standards that are within the bounds of the ecologically possible and to which all could reasonably aspire.

Incidence of poverty among young people (in %) in Sub-Saharan Africa Country Less than US$ 2 per day Burundi, Côte d’Ivoire, Cameroon, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Madagascar, Mozambique, Malawi, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Uganda, Zambia,

At least 80% of humanity lives on less than $10 a day

More than 80 percent of the world’s population lives in countries where income differentials are widening The poorest 40 percent of the world’s population accounts for 5 percent of global income. The richest 20 percent accounts for three-quarters of world income. According to UNICEF, 25,000 children die each day due to poverty. Around percent of all children in developing countries are estimated to be underweight or stunted. The two regions that account for the bulk of the deficit are South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa.

Based on enrolment data, about 72 million children of primary school age in the developing world were not in school in 2005; 57 per cent of them were girls. Number of children in the world: 2.2 billion Number in poverty: 1 billion Number of children in the world: 2.2 billion Number in poverty: 1 billion Nearly a billion people entered the 21st century unable to read a book or sign their names. Less than one per cent of what the world spent every year on weapons was needed to put every child into school by the year 2000 and yet it didn’t happen. Infectious diseases continue to blight the lives of the poor across the world. An estimated 40 million people are living with HIV/AIDS, with 3 million deaths in Every year there are 350–500 million cases of malaria, with 1 million fatalities: Africa accounts for 90 percent of malarial deaths and African children account for over 80 percent of malaria victims worldwide.

Millennium Development Goals

The HDI measures the average achievements in a country in three basic dimensions of human development:  A long and healthy life, as measured by life expectancy at birth.  Knowledge, as measured by the adult literacy rate (with two-thirds weight) and the combined primary, secondary and tertiary gross enrollment ratio (with one-third weight).  A decent standard of living, as measured by GDP per capita in purchasing power parity (PPP) terms in US dollars. PPP can be defined as the number of units of a country’s currency needed to buy the same amount of goods and services in that country as one U.S. dollar would buy in the United States. PPPs are preferable to currency exchange rates, which are determined by the demand for currencies to finance trade and investment and are also affected by speculative demands, because exchange rates do not necessarily reflect the relative prices of goods and services consumed in a country. Before the HDI itself is calculated, an index is created for each of these dimensions. To calculate these indices—the life expectancy, education and GDP indices—minimum and maximum values (goalposts) are chosen for each underlying indicator. For example, in 2004 the maximum and minimum values for life expectancy were 85 and 25 years, respectively. Performance in each dimension is expressed as a value between 0 and 1. The HDI is then calculated as a simple average of the dimension indices: HDI = 1/3 (life expectancy index) + 1/3 (education index)+ 1/3 (GDP index)
